It wasn't quite the price of the M60s. The old one, a 40+ year old American Standard, had to be pulled out of the there and it was a monster. It was half full of sediment and weighed a ton. Lugging something like that out of the basement is way beyond my physical capabilities at this point in time. We're happy the way it turned out. I agree that it's probably not too difficult, but I assure you, I could find a way to mess it up.
